The Loons on Monday made the move we’ve long been expecting, trading away Christian Ramirez ahead of the close of the summer transfer window. The California native and of the franchise’s most popular players is off to LAFC in exchange for $1 million in allocation money spread out over the coming years. Jeff Rueter will break down the deal in a piece to come later, but for now, sound off below on the controversial move.

You forgot to ask us to spend $10 to sign up for the Preserve waiting list.

It's a great move for Christian and a heartbreaker for Loons fans. No ceremony, no fanfare. And with over a month until the next home match it's hard not to think the front office did this knowing that there wouldn't be an immediately public fan response. Christian is going home to LA, and our home feels quite empty now without him.
